| - The owners at Che Inka have been running this place for about three and a half months now, and have added an argentinean menu to the already existing peruvian menu, so you have the best of both cultures.
We met Sylvana and her husband(didn't get his name) and instantly, they made us feel right at home and had us start off with some warm bread and Chimichurri. Wanting to try their chicken because they advertise themselves as a chicken grill, they suggested we try their Saltado Mixto (Peruvian style fajitas). We also got an order of their Ceviche as well as an order of the Papa a la Huanciana (Potatoes with a creamy"aji" sauce made with cheese and chilis)
their drinks are great as well. Sylvia got a passionfruit(Maracuya) drink and I got an Inca Kola(a golden cola from Peru that tastes like a cross between banana and bubble gum)
the ceviche was very refreshing and paired with the toasted corn, sweet potato, and corn on the cob made a delicious combination.
The potatoes had a homey taste and feel to them. simple, tasty, and had a kick to them.
The Saltado Mixto(Chicken and Beef Fajitas) was good but nothing memorable. It was similar to the Lomo Saltado we ate at Little Dumplings on Eastern.
Feeling stuffed, we deciided to try their Pasta Flora, a traditional Quince Pie for dessert. It was good, but the quince was a little too sweet for me. All in all, a good time, and we'll be back to try items on their Argentinean menu as well as their famous Peruvian rotisserie chicken. Sylvana and her husband are very hospitable and also let us in on future happenings at the restaurant. They will be having Parilladas(Just like a churrasceria) at $30 a person for all you carnivores out there on special days throughout each month(send them your e-mail to recieve details) and they will also feature latin rock nights.
Don't forget to take a box of Alfajores (cookies sandwiched with dulce de leche) home....ALOHA!!!
